heat shrinking assists

I had rigged a couple of single hook assists for my 500 gram jigs

after bringing it back up , i found the hook wrapped up around the swivel, so quickly stuck on a ready made one off a cheap sambo jig with the shrink.

When making them up,do you generally always heat shrink the longer assists to stiffen ??
